Quotes about Cancer and Study from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Tissue analysis in patients involved in this Study who were taking flaxseed oil did not demonstrate significant changes in tissue levels of either arachidonic acid or EPA and DHA. As mentioned, previous studies have shown that it is possible to raise tissue levels of EPA and DHA and lower levels of arachidonic acid with flaxseed oils if the intake of omega-6 oils (corn, safflower, sunflower, and soy) is restricted. The failure to improve tissue EPA concentrations in this Study led to the ineffectiveness of flaxseed oil." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book)
| "Unfortunately, a small, twenty-two-patient double-blind Study over a two-month period did not show any benefit from taking flaxseed oil (30 grams per day) versus the same amount of safflower oil.58 However, upon examination of the data, a possible explanation exists. In order to provide clinical benefit, flaxseed oil would have to reduce the tissue concentration of arachidonic acid while increasing the tissue concentration of EPA and DHA. Tissue analysis in patients involved in this Study who were taking flaxseed oil did not demonstrate significant changes in tissue levels of either arachidonic acid or EPA and DHA." - Michael T.

| "Specifically, it enhances connective tissue integrity by stimulating the manufacture of important structural components known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).5 GAGs are the major components of the ground substance in which collagen (the main protein of connective tissue and bone) fibers are embedded. The net outcome is the development of connective tissue that is much stronger.
The effect of centella in the treatment of cellulite appears to be related to its ability to enhance connective tissue structure and reduce the formation of hardened connective tissue." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book)
| "In another Study, the higher the level of alpha-linolenic acid in breast tissue, the less likely the Cancer was to spread into the lymph nodes of the armpit.
In addition, flaxseeds and flaxseed oil are the most abundant sources of plant lignans. These components are fiber compounds that can bind to estrogen receptors and interfere with the cancer-promoting effects of estrogen on breast tissue. Lignans also increase the production of a compound known as sex hormone-binding globulin, or SHBG. This protein regulates estrogen levels by escorting excess estrogen from the body." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book)
| "Weiner believes this is because the protein used in the MS Study (an extract of myelin — the tissue that covers bundles of nerve cells in the body) prevented damage to the sheaths of nerve cells. Weiner postulates that MS is caused when immune cells attack and destroy myelin, ingesting the protein. He felt that his capsules had "taught" the body to tolerate myelin and stop its attack.
Weiner went on to report in 1993 that he felt the capsules of specialized proteins worked by turning on regulatory cells in the intestines. These activated cells then traveled to the tissue that had been mistakenly attacked by the immune system where they secreted a second protein that stopped the body's attack against itself." - Duncan Long, Attaining Medical Self Sufficiency (Get the book)
| "A Study conducted in 1992 recorded that memory retention in rats treated with gotu kola was three to sixty times better than that in control animals. Preliminary results in one clinical trial with developmentally disabled children showed that treatment with gotu kola increased scores on tests of intellectual achievement.
• Cellulite, swollen ankles, and varicose veins. Cellulite occurs when connective tissues under the skin that hold deep-level fat cells break down and are no longer able to hold fat in place. The major components of these connective tissues are glycosaminoglycans." - Phyllis A.

| "An Italian clinical Study of eighty-seven patients with high blood pressure in the veins found that gotu kola increased the transport of both oxygen and carbon dioxide from muscle tissues and relieved the high pressure. While gotu kola significantly improved symptoms of varicose veins, particularly the discomfort, tiredness, and swelling, it did not reduce the unsightliness of veins that were already badly damaged.
• Wounds, scarring, and psoriasis. Many herbal practitioners and physicians report that gotu kola stimulates the regeneration of skin cells and underlying connective tissue." - Phyllis A.

| "Biochemistry is the Study of the nature of vital conditions—those conditions necessary for life. Dr. Schussler appropriately gave his name to his therapeutic method because its remedies were specifically and uniquely those mineral salts he identified whose presence in definite proportions is acknowledged as crucial to the formation and proper functioning of tissue. As he states in his book:
Tissues are sick because the cells of which they are made no longer contain in the requisite proportions the mineral substances t hat are a factor in their constitution . . . Through the gradual intake of weak doses of these substances, the cells will be enabled to rebuild their structure and recover their vitality." - Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality (Get the book)
| "In one Study at the University of Washington School of Medicine, it missed no cancers and ruled out half of the "red flags" as benign, thus avoiding a biopsy in each case.
Q There has been a great rise in the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in recent years. This consists of a combination of synthetic estrogen and progestin and was designed to help combat the symptoms of menopause (bone loss, night sweats, hot flashes, and so forth). A Study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association uncovered some serious problems with the use of this type of therapy. In fact, the Study was ended after only five years (it had originally been scheduled to run 8." - Phyllis A.

| "A follow-up Study showed that fenugreek also lowers levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol in diabetes. In this Study, the lowering of LDL cholesterol levels lasted even after the herb was discontinued. Other
Fennel is an antispasmodic, diuretic, pain-reducer, and fever-reducer, and has antimicrobial activity. It also has a mild estrogenic effect, which may be why European herbalists have prescribed fennel seed for centuries to promote menstruation and to stimulate milk production in nursing mothers. Fennel is also used to stimulate appetite, to soothe digestion, and to hasten healing of muscle strains and hernia." - Phyllis A.

| "A Study conducted at the National Institute of Public Health in the Netherlands concluded that quercetin protects the ability of the skin to block out noxious chemicals after damage by sunburn or exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. It has also been shown to inhibit the signs of aging by preventing the breakdown of the collagen matrix in connective tissue, which leads to wrinkles.
• Gout. Quercetin counteracts the effects of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that promotes uric acid production in a manner similar to that of the most commonly used prescription drug for gout, allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim)." - Phyllis A.

| "In one Study on dogs (Kwon 2003), red ginseng significantly helped lower liver enzyme levels and regenerate liver tissue in animals that had hepatic surgery.
Astragalus
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is used for elderly or debilitated pets and can be taken regularly. It enhances the immune system and is useful to strengthen the body against viral or bacterial infections by stimulating natural killer cell activity and interferon production. It also can be useful for animals undergoing Cancer treatment, along with Asian ginseng, eleuthero, and reishi. Astragalus also has anti-inflammatory properties and can enhance cardiac function. z." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book)

| "A recent Study on insulin-dependent diabetes undertaken at the Vancouver Medical School in British Columbia showed evidence that at certain dosages this trace element replaced insulin and encouraged the regeneration of pancreatic tissue that had been damaged by chromium and vanadium deficiencies.
Chromium and vanadium are antagonists, thus they must be taken at different times of the day—unless they are taken in the form of a colloidal water complex, in which they are naturally balanced." - Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality (Get the book)
| "A recent Study suggests that sonography may be just as accurate as the preceding test to determine whether or not you have the prerequisites for CTS. Ultrasound images can show swelling within the carpal tunnel and how much space is available there for the nerve.

| "DHEA is thought to have caused this loss of fat by blocking an enzyme that is known to produce fat tissue and promote Cancer cell growth. In another Study, middle-aged and elderly men taking DHEA for one year experienced a markedly greater sense of well-being, including a better ability to cope with stress, increased mobility, decreased pain, and higher quality sleep. Research also indicates that DHEA supplements can help prevent Cancer, arterial disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease; treat lupus and osteoporosis; enhance the activity of the immune system; and improve memory. Laboratory studies in animals have indicated that DHEA can increase lifespan by as much as 50 percent." - Phyllis A.

| "CURRENT PRACTICAL USES Study demonstrated that boldo relaxes smooth muscle tissue and prolongs intestinal transit (which again validates its traditional uses for digestive functions).23 The antioxidant property of boldo leaves has also been documented,24 and animal studies confirm that boldo leaf has an anti-inflammatory effect.11 A U.S. monograph reports that boldo can increase urine output by 50 percent, which validates the plant's traditional use as a diuretic.25
Toxicity studies show that boldo should not be consumed regularly or in high dosages, and it should be respected for its very active qualities. The essential oil of the plant contains a compound called asaridole." - Leslie Taylor, ND, The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals (Get the book)
| "At the same time it encourages the regeneration of pancreatic tissue that has been damaged by deficiencies of both of these trace elements. It has also been observed that vanadium may protect the body against Cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING DISABILITIES AND THE ROLE OF MINERALS
A large number of studies throughout the world have revealed a frequent connection between behavioral problems and certain mineral and vitamin deficiencies. A Study at the University of Oregon, for example, demonstrated that the iron found in red blood cells is responsible for carrying large quantities of oxygen to the brain, without which this nerve center cannot function efficiently." - Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality (Get the book)
